The Petnership Project is a Tradeshow and Lecture Series on June 19 & 20 in Vancouver, BC that provides a forum for pet lovers and business owners to share and learn about alternative and holistic approaches to animal health.
see you there!!

Oh, and they still need a few volunteers for each day, so if you would like to go help out and get in free send them a note.

Sorry for the problems showing up when people are trying to fill in applications. As we have just had our web people change what is in the apps..we are having some glitches . please wait for a day or two to apply so that we can get things sorted.. thanks and sorry for the delay.

At VOKRA, every month is for rescue cats, but June has been declared official Adopt a Shelter Cat Month. VOKRA doesn't have a shelter, so we've modified this to Shelter/Rescue Cat.

Please take whatever opportunities you have to educate people about the dire situation of homeless cats, and urge them to "adopt, not shop". Many folks still purchase cats from pet stores and breeders, yet there are thousands of homeless cats -- in the Lower Mainland alone, never mind all of BC and Canada! -- in desperate need of homes.

Spread the word about spaying and neutering cats at 5 months of age. Tell people about VOKRA and other no-kill cat rescue organizations. Volunteer for a rescue group -- VOKRA is recruiting for many positions! Donate funds and supplies.

Please contact our publications team if you would like help with educational materials: Dania, danias@vokra.ca.
